• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 64% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

• Moderate wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $97,638/yr) pays 3.9× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $25,154/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

• Mixed business scale

  Average establishment employs 13 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.

• Small-sector pay

  The $61,259 average in Construction is BLS's published figure for 41 jobs. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.
